It was joined in 1937 to the adjoining two-story Winfree Building annex of 1890.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the building is significant under Criterion A in Commerce and Social History at the local level. It was the home of the Fort Worth Club, which was tied to prominent business leaders, and later housed Haltom's Jewelers and other retailers for more than 70 years. It is also a good local example of early 20th century commercial architecture.","narrative":"Rising six stories at the northwest corner of Main and Sixth Streets in downtown Fort Worth, this red brick building was designed by local architect John James Pollard and built in 1915-16 by contractor William Bryce. It replaced an earlier three-story clubhouse and housed the Fort Worth Club, whose members included civic and business leaders such as Burk Burnett and Amon Carter. The club stayed about ten years before moving to a larger building. After that, Haltom's Jewelers and other retailers occupied the structure, and in 1937 it was remodeled and joined to the neighboring 1890 Winfree Building. The design combines Classical Revival features, Italian Renaissance balconies and brackets, and Arts and Crafts tile and mortar detailing. The ground floor was altered in 1937 and again in 1974, and most of the interior was lost, yet the upper-floor exterior remains largely intact. It was listed for its role in local commerce and social history. It is currently vacant, with a restoration planned.","period_of_significance":"1916-1947","architect_builder":"Pollard, John J.
